SHORT FILM:
"AWAKENING"
Featuring Carla Brown
The final journey.
On a plane heading home, but destined never to get there.
The rain beats down incessantly as she sinks into her own thoughts, drifting from one reality to another. She dreams of wild seas and forbidding mountains, until the thunderstorm carries her away to her own tomorrow.
running time: 4 minutes 40 seconds
SHORT FILM:
"BLINDS"

"Walk Away" by The Satin Dolls
running time: 3 minutes 30 seconds
The Satin Dolls have their roots in British rock and roll. Their driving rhythms, powerful vocals and raw energy make their live performances unforgetable.
For this video we decided to get up on stage with them to produce an intimate portrait of one of the most dynamic bands around.
"Clever editing, charismatic singer, excellent audio production, rather nostalgic 80s vibe... Those were the words that sprung to mind on first viewing of the video for "Walk Away" by Coventry-based indie rockers, The Satin Dolls. They've supported the likes of The Subways and The Feeling. Good good. Look forward to hearing more from them soon." Chi-chi - Real Fresh TV
"Walk Away" has been shown on BBC Big Screens nationwide. Also at Future Shorts Coventry, on The Creative Channel Network and will be shown as part of Cycle Cinema at The Big Chill. Also shown on Angel22.TV and Real Fresh TV.

"IODINE" by Satsangi
running time: 3 minutes 10 seconds
When asked to produce a video for "Iodine" we had to be aware that Satsangi is a band who love playing live. We considered filming an actual gig, but in the end decided to shoot live action in a controlled environment.
"Mesmerizing video by Midlands-based Satsangi, an indie rock band that sound (and look) like Asha Bhosle fronting Queens Of The Stone Age. Compelling lyrics, vivid video imagery. You come away thinking. "What is she on about?" But in a good way. Heady stuff indeed." Chi-chi - Real Fresh TV
"iodine" has been shown on BBC Big Screens nationwide. Also at Shortwave, London, Future Shorts Coventry, on The Creative Channel Network, and on MusFlash TV.
